AFSC Groundfish and Crab Assessment Program Bottom Trawl Survey data interface on the Fisheries One Stop Shop platform.
Select, filter, and package this and other NOAA Fisheries data from the Fisheries One Stop Shop (FOSS) platform. A user guide for the FOSS platform can be found here. To begin a report, select options from the boxes what you need data for.
For a given box, select one or a few options from the “options box”
(list on the left) to query by highlighting them. To select multiple
options, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the options of
interest, or click and drag down the list. Once the options you wish to
be included in your query are highlighted, click the right-pointing
arrow (>) to move them into the “selection box” (list on
the right). If you accidentally select an option that you do not want to
query, simply select the unwanted option from the selection box and
click the left-pointing arrow (<).
If you wish to select all options from the options box and send them
to the selection box, simply click the double right-pointing arrow
(>>). If you want to unselect all options from the
selection box, use the double left-pointing arrow
(<<) or the reset icon.
To find a specific species or group more quickly you can use the
Search Species option to quickly narrow the options. Search
for parts of species common names in the Search Species box
by entering a term and clicking the search button. The
platform will return a shorter list in the Speices options
box of only species that contain a match to that search term.
Use the Reset All Parameters button to reset all
parameters for entire form.

Survey: Each survey has different in design, time
series, and history. More information on each survey and their designs
can be found in our annual
data reports.Year: Surveys are not conducted in all years, so only
data from the years for which the survey was conducted will be
returned.Species: Common name of all species ever encountered in
the survey. Find more information about these species in our survey
code books.In this example, we’ll select for 2022 eastern Bering Sea Pacific cod data. Here, we used the
Search Speciesbox to search for species with the term “cod” in their common names and selected “Pacific cod” from that shortened list.

Select from the below radio list of pre-designed output tables. Once you run the report, the user can further specify filter data and select columns of interest. The tables below will only include data from the selections made in the previous step.
All Data Fields: Presence and Absence (zero-filled):
The most complete version of the data, including species, catch, haul,
and environmental data. This data will include catch data for where
species were caught and zeros for where the species were not caught.
This is important for calculating catch-per-unit-effort data, preparing
distribution plots (e.g., using the akgfmaps
R package), and many statistical analyses.All Data Fields: Presence-only (non-zero): The second
most complete version of the data, including species, catch, haul, and
environmental data. However, this data only includes catch data for
where species were caught and does not include zeros for where the
species were not caught. This will return smaller, more focused data and
can be useful for quickly assessing how many species were caught or how
many stations species were caught at.Catch data: Presence and Absence (zero-filled): This
data set is similar to
All Data Fields: Presence and Absence (zero-filled), but
only includes catch and species data columns.Catch data: Presence-only (non-zero): This data set is
similar to All Data Fields: Presence-only (non-zero), but
only includes catch and species data columns.Haul Data: This data set only includes haul and
environmental data collected from the survey. This data will only
include one observation per haul event/station.In this example, we’ll select
All Data Fields: Presence and Absence (zero-filled).

Click the RUN REPORT button. Below the select and filter
area, the results of your query will appear below the page in the format
you selected. To change the format, make a different selection and run
the report again. Further modifications to your results can be made by
clicking on the Actions button above your data. Here you
can download your data, select columns
included in your results, and apply a variety of filters
and mathematical tools.
